Who is Southern Cross Care?

Southern Cross Care (SCC) is a Catholic not-for-profit organisation established by the Knights of the Southern Cross, more than 40 years ago. They saw a need to provide compassionate care and inclusive service to some of the most vulnerable, the ageing population, in the community.

Since then, SCC has grown to employ over 1700 staff caring for and supporting more than 2000 people across 17 residential aged care homes, 8 retirement villages, 28 social houses, the National Disability and Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and home care services in metropolitan and regional Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

We are passionate about growing communities where best lives are lived, and serving the needs of our residents and clients with compassion and care is, as always, at the heart of what we do.

At SCC, we are just as focused on creating a culture where every person matters. Our culture program, Known & Loved, is unique to Southern Cross Care, enabling staff to build genuine community connections with each other and those we serve.
